Hi friends, welcome back! August was a big month. I celebrated my 30th birthday with a relaxing day, but the real celebration was our trip to Switzerland. We had such an incredible time and really lucked out with amazing weather. It was hotter than we expected, but we had clear skies every day which is…

What’s Up: July 2023
Hi friends, welcome back! Jon and I started the month with a relaxing trip to the Catskills for the Fourth of July. We stayed at a great Airbnb in Phoenicia and managed two hikes, lots of grilling, and even a campfire. The yard backed up to a large creek and the hypnotic sound of the…
What’s Up: June 2023
Hi friends, welcome back! Hard to believe we’re halfway through the year already… The month started off feeling like I was living in some creepy sci-fi movie with all of the wildfire smoke. Luckily that went away in time for the Ed Sheeran concert that we loved. The following weekend we flew to Michigan to…
What’s Up: April 2023
Hi friends, welcome back! April was everything I’d hoped it would be and I’m loving spring in NYC. The weather has been great and I’ve been enjoying viewing all the spring blooms. We had a less busy month and enjoyed the conclusion of March Madness, the Master’s, a visit from the Easter bunny, a brunch…
What’s Up: March 2023
Hi friends, welcome back! Not much is new this month. We’ve just been relaxing and going out to dinner or brunch with friends on the weekends. Once March Madness started I became one with the couch. We’re going to have another busy summer so it’s nice to just chill out. As much as we love…
What’s Up: January 2023

What’s Up: October 2022
Hi friends, welcome back! This month definitely did not go as planned. As soon as I posted my last What’s Up, I started to feel pretty sick and we had to cancel a weekend worth of fall plans and our much-anticipated trip to Shenandoah National Park. But as the saying goes, when one door closes…
What’s Up: September 2022
Hi friends, welcome back! September was another busy month and flew by in the blink of an eye! We started the month in Europe, decorated for fall, had a great time in Atlanta celebrating Jon’s dad’s 60th birthday, went on a walking donut tour, and watched a lot of football. We are in full fall…
What’s Up: August 2022
Hi friends, welcome back! I meant to post this last week, but I was enjoying my time in Germany too much to open my laptop 🙂 August was a wonderful month starting with celebrating my birthday, spending time in Michigan with our families, two quick weeks in NYC, and then we flew to Munich to…
What’s Up: July 2022
Hi friends, welcome back! I’m taking a quick break from my Paris series for my What’s Up monthly post. July was a very busy month! We started off spending the Fourth of July in Newport, Rhode Island touring the Gilded Age Mansions, eating delicious food, and partaking in the beautiful cliff walk. It was the…
